Search Results: shyness and low confidence

I used to think i had a terrible weight and body shape. Thought i was a 4/10. Hated being 5'10. But now with just some fitness and a bit of makeup and taking care of myself i realized i have potential to be attractive.
Also looking back on things i realized that men do stare at me , i just push them away by slouching, frowning, shyness, low self esteem.
I feel bad for this. But lots of people told me i look good and i didn't believe them.
Now i realize im just an average girl with a good body and a 'cute' average face.
I used to think i was masculine , but honestly i have very pronounced curves and i have never seen men with curves so im not masculine. I used to think also that having a cleft chin ( not very noticeable ) was a bad thing but lots of people told me its cute.
Is it a good thing im getting confidence in myself? Now i think im just average looking but not ugly , just a bit odd lol.

Is it the fear of rejection, insecurity, low self-esteem, shyness, lack of confidence, your looks or a mole on your left cheek or everything?

I feel like life is too short to be worrying about if the person you have genuine feelings for feel the same way about you. Just go out there and freaking ask.
